[QUOTE="Les_Wilcock, post: 496102, member: 9843"]Hi everyone Possibly someone can help me here. I have just bought a nice set of table items comprising of salt and pepper shakers and sugar bowl etc. The salt shaker has a crystal body with what looks like a copper top which has been silver plated. The top is a tight push fit onto to neck of the crystal body. My problem is the top is fused onto the neck as evidenced by presence of verdigris around the lip. I have tried gently heating the metal top to see if it move but to no effect. An overnight soak in water had similarly not effect. I wondered if the forum could suggest something that I can soak the thing in or any other way of prising the lid off without damaging the crystal. Thanks in anticipation Les W[/QUOTE]
